Understanding Basic Motorcycle Maintenance
Many people use motorcycles as a means of transportation for their daily travels, and as our motorcycles are used for longer periods of time then we need to understand that basic motorcycle maintenance is essential to keep them running smoothly, safely and efficiently, and that regular maintenance is essential. Below we will learn about the basic maintenance of motorcycles.
First of all, for the motorcycle oil is something vital to start the motorcycle, we need to change it regularly. If it is a multi-cylinder, high speed motorcycle, it is best to use imported semi-synthetic oil or more, so as to ensure the normal operation of the engine. At the same time, the filter is also very important, if the oil filter is very clean, you can properly reduce the frequency of changing the oil filter.
The air filter is also one of the important parts of the motorcycle and needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly. If the air filter is clogged, it will affect the engine air intake effect, which will cause poor air intake, incomplete combustion, low engine efficiency, lack of power and increased fuel consumption. This in turn affects engine efficiency and power output, especially in cities with poor air quality therefore, the air filter needs to be checked and cleaned every few months.
The fuel tank also needs to be cleaned regularly, when your motorcycle has not been used for a long time there may be some of the tiny impurities, or fine particles accidentally dropped in when refueling, these impurities will be deposited at the bottom of the fuel tank over time, which will cause clogging of the fuel pipe and affect the normal operation of the engine. Therefore, you can take the gasoline to drain, then pour a small amount of gasoline, and then drain and pour into the ground cycle several times for cleaning. However, the gasoline used to wash the tank should never be reused.
Motorcycle maintenance also has a crucial brake system, and the brake system also needs to be checked regularly. Brake pads need to be looked at for excessive wear, brake fluid needs to be replaced, and so on. When you are driving too fast, or yielding to pedestrians if the brake system fails, it can lead to a safety accident, so it is important to pay attention to it during maintenance.
Motorcycle chain maintenance also need to pay great attention, regular cleaning and lubrication of the transmission chain, to prevent rust, to ensure smooth operation, check the chain tension, we also need to pay attention to the chain to prevent over-tightening or over-loosening, if the chain is too tight will lead to the inability to rotate, and over-loosening will lead to the chain fall, if necessary, according to the manufacturer's specifications to be adjusted. We also need to check that all lights (headlights, taillights, turn signals) are working properly. Replace all burnt out bulbs, otherwise it won't be able to give the appropriate alerts correctly during exercise.
When we finish checking the above we also need to pay attention to check the motorcycle tires, motorcycle tires also play a vital role in the exercise process, we need to regularly check the air pressure and wear and tear. Insufficient air pressure may lead to unstable driving, increased fuel consumption and other problems, while excessive tire wear may also affect driving safety in the process of a blowout, so it is very important to check the tire condition regularly. Therefore, it is very important to check the condition of tires regularly.
When we buy a motorcycle, we need to pay attention to the maintenance of the motorcycle, we can ensure its normal operation and service life through maintenance. The above basic maintenance methods need to be carried out in accordance with the appropriate cycle, and at the same time in the use of the process should always pay attention to the vehicle's condition, timely detection and resolution of the problem.
